Description

Github PR

Since the introduction of variable width allocation with RVARGC there are a lot of different *NEWOBJ* macros. Currently there are:

  • RB_RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF
  • RB_RVARGC_EC_NEWOBJ_OF
  • RB_NEWOBJ_OF, an alias of RB_RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF
  • RB_EC_NEWOBJ_OF, an alias of RB_RVARGC_EC_NEWOBJ_OF
  • NEWOBJ_OF, an alias of RB_RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF
  • RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF, an alias of RB_RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF

This PR merges RB_RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF,RB_RVARGC_EC_NEWOBJ_OF, RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF, RB_NEWOBJ_OF and NEWOBJ_OF into a single macro that takes an execution context as an argument (which can be NULL; if so then the current execution context is found and used using GET_EC()).

The resulting single macro has been named NEWOBJ_OF to reflect that it should now be the only way of creating new objects.

Both RB_NEWOBJ_OF and NEWOBJ_OF have seperate implementations that are part of the public API exposed in include/ruby/internal/newobj.h so they are available to extension authors. These have not been modified in any way.
